Octavya Origin and Meaning

The name Octavya is a girl's name.

Octavya is a feminine name derived from the Latin root 'octavus,' meaning 'eighth.' It's a variant spelling of Octavia, which historically referred to the eighth child born to a family or a child born in the eighth month. The name carries classical associations, as Octavia was a common name in ancient Rome, most notably borne by the sister of Emperor Augustus. This particular spelling with 'y' instead of 'i' gives the traditional name a more contemporary and unique appearance. While much rarer than the standard Octavia, Octavya maintains the same sophisticated and classical tone. The name conveys strength and elegance, with connections to both literary and historical traditions.
